WhatsApp quoteEmirates Islamic suits businesses that want Islamic banking backed by a large banking group, and its product range includes business account, Islamic trade finance, corporate cards and payroll. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Emirates Islamic is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. In our experience, romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Emirates Islamic authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Romanian clients from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Romania and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why Emirates Islamic
On the ground, if Emirates Islamic is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched application is approved faster. Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Emirates Islamic application noticeably smoother. Romanian applicants benefit from the fact that Emirates Islamic already has many Romanian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Romania papers and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Can a free zone company open an account with Emirates Islamic?
Yes. Emirates Islamic accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.
What if Emirates Islamic declines my application?
We ask for the reason, address it if possible and apply to a better-matched bank. A decline at one bank does not affect your application elsewhere.
Does GoldenKey guarantee a Emirates Islamic account?
No consultant can. Emirates Islamic's compliance team makes the decision. What GoldenKey does is prepare a complete, consistent file and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.
Can a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in Emirates Islamic?
Yes. Romanians can own the full share capital of a Emirates Islamic company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Romanians need a UAE visa before applying for Emirates Islamic?
No. You can apply for the licence from Romania with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
